This command is optional for modes other than server mode. VTP server
mode requires a domain name. If the switch has a trunk connection to a
VTP domain, the switch learns the domain name from the VTP server in
the domain.
You should configure the VTP domain before configuring other VTP
parameters.
Note

off} {vlan | mst | unknown}
Step 4
• vlan—The VLAN database is the default if none are configured.

• mst—The multiple spanning tree (MST) database.
• unknown—An unknown database type.
